“a huge boost to mechanisms work in schools”
Times Educational Supplement.

A photocopiable resource book from Flying Pig. The book centres around ten extendable cardboard engineering projects which introduce many mechanisms, from simple cams to crank sliders and swash plates

Each project comprises fully illustrated clear instructions, photocopiable pages of all the parts needed to make a complete automaton and a page of ideas to extend the project. Simply photocopy the pages onto thin card and away you go!
As well as the ten projects (see the links left) the book also includes the following sections

• explaining mechanisms
• the mathematics of mechanisms
• tips for construction
• alternative parts to extend the models
• web links
• glossary of terms
• detailed lessons plans

The price of £29.95 includes a licence for the purchaser to make unlimited photocopies of the model parts for their own use; all for the price of less than ten of our automata kits, and free shipping too!

Ten projects, endless possibilities!
